I sound like I just smoked 462 packs of Marlboro Reds. I don't "feel" horrible, but this chest congestion has got to go.

So while I am mentally ready to run...I don't know if I'm doing myself a disservice by actually running. My run on Tuesday was pain free, but I struggled to breath normally and totally embarrassed Wade with all the loogies I hawked up during our short 4 mile run.

So classy.

Because I am a highly paid Doctor, I did what all smart well paid Doctors do...I googled. And of course, my favorite website (Runner's World) popped up with an article that was just perfect.

OK, seriously, you are never going to believe this, but I actually got knocked down with a hell of a cold this week too and on Monday I googled and read that SAME article!! It was the ONLY reason I didn't work out Monday-Wednesday this week. I actually just managed to pull off 2 miles this morning, and I've been coughing shit up ever since. But it would have been SO much worse if I had tried earlier... and believe me, I really wanted to try! I was giving myself hell for staying in bed when I would normally be getting up and on the treadmill!

I just got a cold too - not happy about it!!! I have a 5K tomorrow, which is no big deal, but I was kind of looking forward to seeing how I could do in it - chances are not very well if I can't breathe through my nose:( I'm going to go check out that article now. Feel better!!!
